Greaves Scores Maiden Test Ton, Credits Roach

Justin Greaves scored his maiden Test century against Bangladesh, with Kemar Roach providing valuable support. The pair added 140 runs, helping West Indies recover from a shaky start.

Greaves' Unbeaten 115 Puts West Indies in Strong Position

Resuming on 250/5, West Indies lost two early wickets on the second day, reducing them to 261/7. However, Greaves and Roach steadied the ship, with Greaves remaining unbeaten on 115.

Greaves' Positive Intent and Roach's Calm Presence Key

Greaves acknowledged the role Roach played in his success, stating, "It was pretty good to have a senior player like Kemar Roach… he just kept saying 'keep that positive intent'… Kemar just pretty much kept calm for me out there, and I just playing my game."

Learning from Domestic Success

Greaves, who scored three consecutive hundreds in the 2024 Super 50 tournament, aimed to bring that form to Test cricket. He considered his century a result of the opportunity to bat for a long duration and applying learnings from his domestic success.

Consistency Needed on Day 3

Despite the strong position, Greaves emphasized the need for consistency on the third day, as the wicket remains good for batting. He stated, "We have to come tomorrow and be as disciplined as possible… as long as we are consistent over a long period of time, I think we will be in a very good position."
